I recommend doing this:

[mikethedrummer44]

Why, hello. I just thought I'd recommend you guys try something that has given me some amazing results. It's nothing fancy, but before I go to bed, on rare occasions, I'll intend to have something amazing and unexpected happen. Whenever I've done this, it's manifested the very next day, every time. This time, I intended to have something amazing and unexpected happen every day this week. So far, in just two days, this has been one of the more amazing weeks of this year.

So basically what I'm saying is to maybe not be so specific once in a while. You might not get what you were thinking of exactly, but you'll be amazed and grateful at what the universe does deliver. Try it out!

[Wax Frog]

Finally, something simple! I'll give 'er a spin...

[bmlyeryk]

can you get results the next day if theres something specific you intend to happen?

did you visualize, use affirmations or just use intention?

[mikethedrummer44]

You can get results the next day from something specific, but it's a bit harder. You need to be extremely specific, and be concentrating on your intention. At least that's what I have to do.

For this one, though, I just set the intention to be surprised, and go to sleep. I think it helps that I do it right before bed. Then, the next day, something extraordinary always happens.

May I make the suggestion of setting the intention to be pleasantly surprised? I can think of many surprises I would not want to have!

[mikethedrummer44]

Good point! I usually think positively when I set the intention, so maybe that's why it always works out well for me. :P

[DanielWestman]

That´s a great idea!
I´ll try it out tonight.

[Tristan Bull]

Haha nice

Hence my desire to try a different tack.

Update:

If the 'wonderful and unexpected' thing comes through your own somewhat-hysterical actions, and is laced with emotional complexity and difficulty, does it still count as a manifestation?

OK - I'll bite - what ya do? Then we can decide if it still counts.

Even with this an anon board, I still feel funny talking about it, prefer not to go into details. Basically I slipped into a big show of despair that ended up gaining me "alms" from someone I have a mostly painful relationship with. I wasn't openly looking for the financial help, but nonetheless there it was.

[gigij]

Ahhh - so you meant 'crazy' hysterical - I was going with 'hilarious' hysterical.

I actually would never recommend the 'surprise' manifestation route - not without numerous caveats anyway. I'm still recovering from the 'need more excitement in my life' debacle .....
But if your not sharing then I'm not either.

[SeminarBoost]

Hi

Expecting to receive what ever you want is the key - getting over those niggling negative thoughts is the hard part.

I fly to the UK monthly and I ALWAYS expect to get a seat in the extra leg room seats - hasn't let me down for the last 20 or so flights

Ask & you shall recieve ..expect and it will be given

have fun....

Not totally-off-the-handle hysteria, just a few moments of it, accompanied by an immediate apology. Aside from that it was all aggressively-dramatized mopiness.

Yeah. Just prior to the incident I was wondering if my intention was sufficiently 'firewalled' from the blue thoughts I've had of late. DING-DING-DING!

[mikethedrummer44]

Haha, man. I love this intention. I've ALWAYS set it when I'm at a high vibration, and think positive. I set it before I go to bed, and then I forget about it. I'm thinking that's why it always comes out positive for me.

It's funny, this stuff is actually pretty complicated. It's not just visualize and get results. Well... it is. But there's always a catch!

[gigij]

Maybe I'll get brave and try it again tonight.

Although now that I have fiasco on my mind you never know what could happen ... but really ... how bad could it be?

[StarieEyed]

Haha thanks for this! I love excitement in my life. I'm going to try this tonight!

[ChrisDP]

Interesting there have been times in the past where iv gone to bed sub consciously aware of the goals i need to tackle the next day which can some times put a downer on things as you drift off with your mind wondering on about it.

But this reminded me that from the view of abundance would be that tomorrow is unwritten so there are many positive surprises ahead.

So its probably important to remember that before you drop off all those thoughts wondering round they don't matter. Because situations don't matter only the state of Being. Just allow them and remain on the point tomorrows unwritten there are so many wonderful surprises ready for me tomorrow.
We'll just have to wait to find out

So you're the Ron Popeil of manifesters?

[mikethedrummer44]

Yes sir! Gotta love the manifest-o-matic. You put your negative thoughts in and chop the crap out of them. It doesn't really do anything, but it's only $3, and it's satisfying!

[DanielWestman]

I actually tried this on tuesday night. I intended for something positive and unexpected to happen the following day.

At 10 am I got a phonecall. It was an answer on an ad for a book that I put up 3 months ago. I didn´t even remember that the ad was still running. I had sold the book the day after I put up the ad, but this phonecall still gave me a positive start on the day. It was totally unexpected and fits good with my intention to generate more money.

Update:
Just got an email from a lady in Singapore that answered another ad that I put up months ago. I never sold this book then, so now I´m shipping it off to Singapore!

[Diandra25]

do you wanna know what was my crazy thing?

weeks ago i was in bed and i asked to dream with the lotto numbers.in a very focused way.

that night....i did dreamt of the numbers!someone gave me a piece of paper and said:take it,it is the help you asked.

i took the paper in the dream.looked at the numbers and asked myself:why did he gave me these numbers?why do i need them?

the dream passed.i woke up.

but when i woke up,i imediatelly forgot what numbers were....dawm!!

[StarieEyed]

Thats what I am nervous about too! I am almost positive someone will give me the lottery numbers in my dream but how, oh how will I remember them! I guess keep a pen and paper on your night stand that night! I've heard of a few ppl who won the lottery got the numbers in a dream!

[Diandra25]

really?that is hossom.

now when i try to do that i just see blurred numbers hihih

but the irony is that i did asked to remember my dream when i wake up...i only remembered two...and they did got in the lottery that week.

believe in it and ask your Higher Self.we never know untill we try,isnt it?

good luck it is a good ideia a bout the pen and paper

[freddy]

Ok I tried this last night. And today I was cleaning out my garage full of junk. I found an old bag from my brothers who died a few years back. The bag dropped from the shelf I was moving, and the coins went all over the place. I've counted 32 dollars so far in quarters. I'm guessing around 80 bucks or so. And yes I was pleasantly surprised. I'm going to do this again tonight.

I think the most important part of this is to not narrow it down to specifics. This intention has always worked best for me when I ask to be pleasantly surprised and let the universe decide what's right for me. :P

So a good phrasing for this intention would be, "I'm having a big pleasant surprise tomorrow/today" (note that I don't say "will have", as I want to avoid any suggestion of non-immediacy; I've learned that much)?
